Stop and Smell the Roses!


Last April (2007) I began working on a design with roses and butterflies. Actually I had the rose side done first and was stumped as to what to put on the back, then one day I saw wings in the fringes of the petals, so I started drawing, cutting and pasting and a week or so later I had a finished design. I was so excited with this design, it felt like something special to me. When I shopped it I got great responses from everyone but at the time they all had too much on their plates. Then someone suggested I take it to a vendor that I had no experience with. I was hesitant, but showed it to them. They liked it immediately and told me what their buying program was. It sounded like a good deal for me and them so I agreed. This was just before GW5 so understandably they were quite busy. About a month after the event we continued talking but I was told that their buyer program had changed. Since my agreement had been made prior to the change they honored it. For several reasons we went back and forth on the design, partly because I am inexperienced with different types of enamels and partly because, well I don't know. The coin FINALLY went on presale on the vendors site in March, no, April, no MAY of this year, a full year later! After the sales I received an email asking me what changes I wanted made for my versions as well as how many I would receive. I was told I would have them in June. June came and went, so did July so I asked where my coins were. After several emails it was agreed upon that my coins were lost, so a new order would be made. Last week my coins arrived! The coins are beautiful, much nicer than I had expected them to be, and I honestly wish I could order more of the Red Rose on Black nickel as it is simply amazing! Unfortunately I can't so what I have to offer for sale are 2 versions.
